Hmm, OK. I will have to adjust my home directory entries then?

dovecot-ldap.conf has

user_attrs = uid,mailbox,,uid,uidNumber,gidNumber

where homeDirectory = mailbox, which is relative. ie

domain/user/Maildir/

If I remove chrooting I need to change my mailbox entries to the full
path?

ie

/var/spool/mail/vmail/domain/user/Maildir/

Correct?
